Verify job exists in /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
If not, run this script:
SEED=$(( $RANDOM % 14 ))
CRON_EXPRESSION="${SEED},$((${SEED} + 15)),$((${SEED} + 30)),$((${SEED} + 45))"
CRON_FILE=/etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
echo -e "${CRON_EXPRESSION} * * * *\troot\t/opt/armor/armor-supervisor get-tasks" > ${CRON_FILE}
Output Examples:
Task is enabled. This is a good state.

Connectivity/Firewall
Ensure that your firewalls are opened to the hosts as noted in Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.
Windows Test Connectivity
IP address and port for these commands will need to be entered and are found in the Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.
(New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("IP_ADDRESS",PORT,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
Windows connectivity test output should return a value of "true."
Windows connectivity test should not return a value of "false."
If test returns "false," investigate firewall blockages.
Examples:
This is the command run and value returned when there is connectivity to the service.
C:\Users\Administrator> (New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("8.8.8.8",443,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
True
This is the command run and value returned when there is no connectivity to the service and your firewalls need to be checked for blockages.
C:\Users\Administrator> (New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("8.8.8.8",442,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
False
Linux Test Connectivity
IP address and port for these commands will need to be entered and are found in the Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.
timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/IP_ADDRESS/PORT" && echo $?
Linux connectivity test output should return a value of "0."
If test returns anything other than "0," investigate firewall blockages.
Examples:
This is the command run and value returned when there is connectivity to the service.
root@myhost:~# timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/8.8.8.8/443" && echo $? 0
This is the command run and value returned when there is no connectivity to the service and your firewalls need to be checked for blockages.
root@myhost:~# timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/8.8.8.8/442" && echo $? 124
